In 1996, Yevgeny Lebedev was called by Mikhail Alexandrovich Ulyanov and that the Union of theatre figures and all the jury of the "Golden Mask" decided to award Yevgeny Lebedev the highest prize in the nomination "For honor and dignity". The only condition is that the nominee must be present at the award ceremony.
What number will the ceremony take place? I asked Lebedev.
“Thirty-first of March,” said Ulyanov, “come, we’re waiting for you.
"Unfortunately, I will not be able to," Lebedev refused, "this day I am performing at a charity concert dedicated to the memory of Strzelchik. I was listed on the poster.
There were many brilliant names in this poster. He performed with his famous orchestra. The stars of the Mariinsky Theatre. In principle, this concert could have taken place without Lebedev. It was a charitable concert. It was dedicated to the memory of the Comrade. People bought tickets, and the money went to the Monument to Strelchik.

Here they are real, honor and dignity.
